About this book
Making and Breaking the Grid is a layout workshop written for designers working in any medium. Timothy Samara traces how the grid developed in visual communication and works through column, compound and modular structures. The book also sets out methods for building and using grids, alongside design projects that draw on varied imagery and typography. After the grid is mastered, later sections show how to break it by splitting and shifting layouts, working on an axis, or composing spontaneously.
